• These components are not supplied by Einhell. Description of function The 3-piston, radial high-pressure pump is driven by a single-phase AC asynchronous motor with running capacitor acting directly via a swash plate. When the unit is switched on and the catch trigger (on the piston) is pulled, the pump pumps water through the high-pressure hose, the pistol and the lance and out through the nozzle. The nozzle head can be turned to the left or right for spraying with a round jet or fan jet in each of the two pressure ranges (high and low). Important: Read these operating instructions thoroughly before you put the unit into operation. Safety regulations

1. Inspect the power supply cable regularly for

signs of damage, and only use if in perfect condition.

Part 1 for the power supply cable.

3. The operator of the unit must make sure that no

children or other persons are in the cleaner´s direct area of action.

4. When the unit is not in use or when it is being

moved, switch off the motor and remove the power supply cable from the mains socket.

5. Connect the high-pressure cleaner only to mains

sockets which are protected with an earth- leakage circuit-breaker. The tripping current must not exceed 30 mA.

6. The connector socket of an extension cable must

be spray-water-proof.

7. Connector sockets on power supply cables must

be made of rubber, soft PVC or some other thermoplastic material of equivalent mechanical stability.

8. Keep children away from the unit when it is

connected to the mains.

9. Never point the high-pressure jet at persons as

this can cause injury! Never point the high- pressure jet at electrical devices!

10. Wear suitable clothing that provides adequate

protection in the event of accidental contact with the jet.

11. The cleaner must not be used for cleaning

clothes and shoes while they are being worn!

12. Defective hoses must be replaced with new ones

14. Do not set up the unit too close to where you

15. Automobiles, tractors, motorcycles, etc. must

only be cleaned where an oil separator is installed at the sewer drain.

16. Use only original spare parts from the

manufacturer. Instructions for the operator Please observe the following additional points when using the high-pressure cleaner! Noise: Wear officially approved ear muffs when working with the unit. Risk of injury: Never point the water jet at persons or animals. Electric shock: Be sure to pull out the mains plug before carrying out any maintenance work and before opening the casing. Never point the water jet at electrical equipment. Cleaning agents: When working with cleaning agents, always follow the manufacturer´s instructions. Inspection: Have a qualified workshop inspect the unit according to how heavily it is used but at least once every year. Replace any faulty parts such as the power cable and hose with original spare parts. Power connection You are to connect the cleaner only to a properly installed mains socket with earthing contact. If in doubt, consult an electrician. Compare the data on the unit´s rating plate with the data of your own mains supply to make sure that the cleaner can be operated from your mains, and install a 16 A mains fuse if not already available. Only now are you allowed to insert the plug in the mains socket. To switch on the high-pressure cleaner, simply press the rocker switch at the rear. The cleaner is protected against overloading. If overloading occurs, the electric current is switched off automatically to prevent the motor winding from burning out. For safety reasons, you are required to wait approximately 5 minutes before you can switch on the cleaner again after the automatic cut-out has responded. Rectify the cause of the overloading first. To be able to switch the unit back on again you must always turn off the switch first. After the mandatory waiting period has elapsed, you can then put the unit back into operation by pressing the rocker switch. When using extension cables, please remember to protect the connecting socket from moisture. Damaged cables It often happens that the insulation on the power supply cable becomes damaged. Common causes are: Running over the cable with heavy equipment Pinching the cable in doors or windows Cracking due to ageing Kinking due to improper fastening or routing of the cable Cables with damaged insulation must never be used because they are extremely dangerous! Cables, plugs and portable socket outlets must comply with the following conditions: Power supply cables for high-pressure cleaners must be rubber-insulated. The type designation must be printed on the cable. Purchase only cables with printed identification marks! Plugs and portable outlets must be made of rubber. The cables should be kept as short as possible. Longer cables require conductors with larger cross-sections. See the table „Extension cable data“ for length specifications. Power supply cables must be inspected regularly. Always remove the plug from the mains socket before inspecting cables. Unroll cables completely from cable drums. Check the cables where they enter plugs and portable outlets to ensure that they are not kinked.

Anleitung HT 1600-1801-F 09.11.2001 7:51 Uhr Seite 12Take the safety precaution of using highly sensitive residual-current devices with nominal currents of 10 or 30 milliamperes. In the event of an accident these devices switch off before the current becomes dangerous. A qualified electrician can install a residual-current device in your building´s electrical system as a permanent fixture. Alternatively your electrical dealer can supply you with a plug-in residual-current device for inserting between the wall socket and the power cable. Devices of this type are produced by various manufacturers. When working outdoors, remember to use only devices which are protected from rain and moisture. These devices bear the symbol

230 up to 20 m 1.5 230 20 to 50 m 2.5 Steps before putting the unit into operation Note the regulations of your local water supply authority. Water connection Screw the water supply hose to the cleaner´s water inlet connection (we recommend using a reinforced hose with an internal diameter of at least 12-13 mm = 1/2“). Screw the high-pressure hose to the cleaner´s water outlet connection. Make sure that all the connections are tightened securely and that no air can enter. Important! Never operate the cleaner without water. Make sure that there is always a continuous, sufficient water supply (at least 11-12 l/min). Operating the cleaner without water will cause severe damage to the seals. The supply water must be free of dirt, sand and other contaminants. If necessary, install a filter in the water inlet. The supply water must contain no aggressive cleaning agents or solvents. The maximum water supply temperature must not exceed 60°C (intermittent operation). Areas of application For cleaning transport equipment, agricultural vehicles and rooms. All types of cleaning jobs in the food industry, livestock farms, dairies and abattoirs. For cleaning drainage pipes, floors, walls, bathing and sanitary facilities, glass exteriors. For blasting with abrasives. Electrical connection You are to connect the cleaner only to a properly installed mains socket with earthing contact. If in doubt, consult an electrician. Compare the data on the unit´s rating plate with the data of your own mains supply to make sure that the cleaner can be operated from your mains, and install a 16 A mains fuse if not already available. Only now are you allowed to insert the plug in the mains socket.

2. Connection cable with power plug

4. Water inlet + filter

6. High-pressure hose

8. Foam spray attachment

1. The main switch has to be in „O“ position

2. The water supply hose (item 2) has to be

connected to INLET (item 4). Use a hose designed for a minimum capacity of 15 bar with an inner diameter of at least 12-13 mm (1/2“).

3. Fit the lance to the pistol.

4. Connect the high-pressure hose (item 5) to the

OUTLET (item 6) and to the pistol. The water temperature should never exceed 50°C in continuous operation.

5. Open the water tap (item 3).

6. Press the pistol trigger (item 7) until water

emerges from the lance nozzle and flushes out any residues left in the line.

8. Switch on the machine by moving the switch to

„I“ position. Starting is easier and the machine is placed under less strain if you press the pistol trigger before switching on. Fitting the lance The lance (item 1) is latched onto the spray pistol (item 2) with the bayonet connector. Insert the lance in the direction indicated by the arrow „A“ and turn approx. 15° clockwise until the two parts are fully connected. The nozzle cleaning needle (item 4) can be used to remove any dirt which may collect in the nozzle. Caution! Before cleaning, switch off the machine and disconnect from the water supply.

Anleitung HT 1600-1801-F 09.11.2001 7:51 Uhr Seite 14Pistol safety lock Always actuate the safety lock (S) on the pistol whe- never the machine is not being used. This will pre- vent the machine starting up accidentally. Starting up and notes on operation

1. Plug the unit into the mains (see the sections

before putting the unit into operation“ and „Water connection“).

3. Bleed the system of air by pulling the pistol

4. Switch on the cleaner with the pistol open (move

the power switch on the cleaner to position 1). To purge any particles which may have accumulated inside the cleaner system, we recommend spraying for 1-20 seconds with the spray pistol only. Such par- ticles could block the high-pressure nozzle and jeo- pardize its proper operation. Never clean the high-pressure nozzle with sharp metallic objects. Use only blasts of compressed air. Spraying with cleaning agents Remove the front section of the lance and fit the foam-spray attachment in its place. Then fill the container with a suitable cleaning agent and screw it into the nozzle holder. When you pull the pistol trigger, the cleaning agent is drawn automatically from the container and sprayed with the water. If the cleaning agent is not longer needed, you must remove the attachment and refit the normal lance section. Instructions for the proper use of cleaning agents Make up cleaning agents in their correct ratio of concentration (follow the manufacturer´s instructions). Distribute the cleaning solution evenly over the surface to be cleaned with the high-pressure cleaner and allow the solution a few minutes to work (be careful when working on hot surfaces, e.g. engines or objects exposed to bright sunshine). Finally, rinse down the treated surface uniformly with water from the high-pressure cleaner. It is not advisable to use intensively foaming or acidic cleaning agents. Use only standard brand-name products.

Anleitung HT 1600-1801-F 09.11.2001 7:51 Uhr Seite 15Important: For safety reasons, always switch off the motor before changing the nozzle! Changing over from round-jet to fan spraying You can spray with either a round jet or fan jet as required. To adjust, simply turn the nozzle head to the right (1) for a round jet or to the left (2) for a fan jet (see picture). Shutting down Important! Whenever you stop working and switch off the pump, always depressurize the system by opening the pistol. Switch off the unit Close the water tap Pull the plug out of the socket Shutting down for longer periods If you do not intend to use the high-pressure cleaner for a longer period of time, we recommend rinsing the system thoroughly with an ample amount of water. Use clean water without cleaning agents. Antifreeze precautions When the unit is stored away, it must be protected from freezing up. If you have to use a storage room that is very cold or exposed to frost, it is advisable to fill the unit first with an antifreeze agent. The unit can draw in the anti- freeze most easily if the container is held at a higher level. Monitoring and maintenance Important! Before beginning repair or maintenance work, always remove the plug from the mains socket. Repairing the cleaner while it is still connected to the mains current supply is extremely dangerous and can be fatal! The machine requires no maintenance. It is delivered with enough oil for it to be used for around 300 hours. You must then arrange for a service workshop to change the oil. Water supply If the water supply line is excessively dirty, install a filter in the water inlet. Hoses The high-pressure cleaner is equipped at the factory with hoses designed for its operating pressures. If these hoses need replacement, only ever use the manufacturer´s original hoses or types of identical quality bearing the necessary markings. Important! Never draw solvents such as paint thinners, gasoline, oil, etc. or unfiltered water into the cleaner. The seals in the system are not solvent- proof. Solvent mist is highly flammable, explosi- ve and poisonous!

Anleitung HT 1600-1801-F 09.11.2001 7:52 Uhr Seite 16Checking the water intake filter Check the intake filter at set intervals in order to avoid clogging. Failure to do so may jeopardize the proper operation of the pump (see the figure). Decalcifying You must decalcify the high-pressure cleaner at regular intervals. Just how frequently this is necessary will depend on the hardness of the water in your area. Pour the decalcifier into a container with a capacity of at least 30 litres and mix with water in a ratio of 1 litre of decalcifier to 15 litres of water. Use the high-pressure cleaner with a hose to draw up the mixture. Submerge the pistol immediately in the container to create a closed-circuit and allow the decalcifying solution to circulate for at least 10 minu- tes (leave the unit switched on). You will find it easier to start up the circulation if you place the container above the pump. Important! Decalcifier is caustic! Observe the manufactu- rer´s safety precautions printed on the packaging! Fitting the wheels and stand You can make your high-pressure cleaner mobile by fitting the supplied wheels and stand. The wheels are simply inserted in the prepared holes on the sides and the stand is plugged in place on the bottom of the housing (see drawing). Insert the steering handle in the guide slot on the housing. The handle latches home in bottom and top position. To release the catch, press in the two lugs. You can then move the handle in or out as required.

Working with the rotary nozzle The rotary nozzle comes fitted in position ready for immediate use. Rotation of the cleaning jet as it emerges from the rotary nozzle lends it twice the cleaning power of a normal cleaning nozzle. The first time a new nozzle is used it may be rather slow in starting until the nozzle works itself free. If the nozzle fails to rotate immediately, press the pistol trigger a few times briefly in quick succession. The rotary nozzle was developed specially for clea- ning path slabs, facade walls, swimming-pools and other surfaces on which dirt or moss accumulates. Caution! Risk of injury! Never point the water jet at persons or animals. For safety reasons, always switch off the motor before changing the nozzle! A bayonet lock is used to fasten the lance, rotary nozzle and other accessories to the pistol handle. To fasten, insert the lance in the pistol body, press and twist to the left up to the stop. To unfasten, press the lance into the pistol again, twist to the right and pull out. Disposing of the machine When the high-pressure cleaner is no longer required, proceed as follows: Remove the power plug and render the machine unworkable. Store in a place that is inaccessible to children. Parts from the old machine are not to be used as replacement parts. Disassemble the machine and dispose of its various parts in accordance with the regulations in force in your country.
